An Heroic Woman.

Sister Marie Theresa. q french nun.
who has lately been decorated with
the cross of the Legion of Honor for
forty years service in the army am
balances. seems to be not only brave
but . merry woman. During time
of hard fighting in Ton4uin. bomb
fell into an ambulance full of wounded
men. Sister Theresa seized the bomb
and carried it to q distance. When
she set it down it exploded. but, lucki-
", not till she had had time to throw
herself Hat on the ground. Her as
sistants rushed up in terror, and found
her unconscious and covered with
blood. When she regained her senses.
she uttered her customary phrase:
Its only a joke" an expression
which has since become her nick
name. At another time she was tend
ing q wounded man. when she was
struck by passing splinter from q
charge of metraille; but her quiet OBJ
servation was merely, as usual. It's
only a joke" At the ceremony OF
the decoration, none Of the customary
formallties were omitted. The Gem
eral who conferred the title chevaliere
on the brave nun touched her with his
sword on both her shoulders, and
finally brushed her cheek with his
white mustaches.

Providing Lime for Fowls

Lime, in some form, is indispensable
for the formation of egg shells. and
should be within reach of the fowls at
all times. Lime from an old ceiling or
bricklayers' rubbish is suitable. Egg

be given without first being finely
broken. OF hens may thereby I've taught

eggs: few spoonfuls to pint of water
is sufficient Egg shells broken finely
and mixed with the meal are also use

out these being added. and left to their

Women at the Polls.

Anenr the recent elections in Kan
sas, the Topeka Capitol says: 1t had
been predicted that the vote Of the de-
graded and ignorant class of women
would over-balance the vote OF the
respectable ladies; but the election in
Topeka proved this not to be true. A
large majority of the votes cast were
by the most refined and cultured ladies
Of the city. and all appeared to vote
intelligently and ~ithout hesitation.
Wives went to the polls with their hus-
bands, mothers with their sons. and in
many instances young gentlemen were
accompanied to the polls by their
sweethearts Every thing was peacea-
bic and quiet. and the absence of the
disorder that is so frequent at elections
was the subject of much comment
The ladies went to the polls with -
much freedom as if :hey we're going

Benefits Of Suffrage.
George William Curtis saws:


Il have no superstition about the
ballot. LIDO not suppose it would inn
mediasely right all the wrongs of wom-
en-, any more than it has righted all
those Of men. But what political
agency has righted so many? Here
are thousands Of miserable men all
around US; but they have every path
opened to them. They have their ad-
vocates; they have their votes: they
make the laws; and. at last and at
worst they have their strong right
hands for defense. And here are thou
sands of miserable women pricking
back death and dishonor with 4 little
needle: and now the sly hand of Sci
ence is stealing that little needle away.
The ballot does not make these men
aappy nor respectable nor rich nor
